Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis ( RA ) is a chronic, inflammatory disease closely linked with atherosclerosis. Recommended cardiovascular CVD integral evaluation includes screening for asymptomatic atherosclerosis plaques carotid ultrasound US ). The aim of this study to evaluate the characteristics, including intima media thickness cIMT and plaque CP ), compare ‐patients controls in Mexican‐mestizo population. Method Prospective cross‐sectional, observational comparing matched without ....
<h3>Background:</h3> Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory, multifactorial disease that mainly affects synovial joints. Pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) can appear as complication of connective tissue diseases. It possible pulmonary systolic pressure (PASP) in RA may be elevated due to interstitial lung disease, vasculitis, veno-occlusive or cardiac (1). Although right heart catheterization the gold standard, Doppler echocardiography has proved reliable...
<h3>Background</h3> Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disease, which mainly affects synovial joints.<sup>1</sup> Heart structural abnormalities are more prevalent in RA-patients than general population, such as pericarditis, increased left ventricle mass and valvular disease.<sup>2</sup> Left atrial (LA) dilation predicts fibrillation congestive heart failure. It also increases the risk of developing thromboembolic events.<sup>3</sup> <h3>Objectives</h3> The aim...

<h3>Background</h3> Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic and autoimmune disease with articular extra-articular manifestations. RA associated increased prevalence of comorbidities higher cardiovascular risk when compared to general population. Atherosclerotic (CV) events are the leading cause death in RA. In recent meta-analysis, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) hypercholesterolemia were shown increase CV this population.<sup>1</sup> A study reported hypertension...
<h3>Background</h3> Metabolic syndrome (MetS) comprises a group of risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. MetS is responsible three-fold increase in the atherosclerotic diseases (ASCVD) increased mortality compared to general population.<sup>1</sup> The frequency RA patients 14% 56%. However, although many studies have reported higher prevalence among patients, number healthy controls.<sup>2</sup> Despite importance detection its role information scarce....
<h3>Background</h3> Patients with RA have a 1.5–2.0 fold increased risk of developing coronary artery disease (CAD) compared the general population. are typically managed by several physicians, and coordination care may be suboptimal.<sup>1</sup> The leading cause death in RA-patients is atherosclerotic cardiovascular (ASCVD).<sup>2</sup> Carotid heart evaluation ultrasound useful tool for detection conditions. <h3>Objectives</h3> To compare presence subclinical conditions among...
<h3>Background</h3> Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have a significantly increased risk for cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality when compared to general population. Traditional factors do not explain the CV risk, which appears be linked chronic inflammation.<sup>1</sup> The leading cause of death in RA-patients is atherosclerotic disease (ASCVD).<sup>2</sup> Carotid artery evaluation by ultrasound useful tool detection subclinical atherosclerosis. presence carotid...
